Election Information

The next regular municipal election will be held on Monday, October 22, 2018. Trustees will be elected for a four-year term beginning December 1, 2018 and ending on November 14, 2022.

The 12 trustees of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board are responsible for overseeing a progressive educational system that serves over 71,000 students in 143 schools. Trustees are empowered under the Education Act to set policy for the operation of all public schools in Ottawa-Carleton, and are an important link between the school system and the community.

On October 24, 2017 the Board approved changes to the electoral zone boundaries for zones 7 and 11, such that Zone 7 be comprised of municipal wards 20 (Osgoode) and 22 (Gloucester-South Nepean) and Zone 11 be comprised of municipal wards 16 (River) and 10 (Gloucester-Southgate).

Adjustments made to these zones will be in effect for the 2018 election. The purpose of these changes was to better distribute the number of electors in each zone.
